SB 240 is new legislation that requires hospitals, among others, to establish and implement a workplace violence prevention committee, plan and policy by Sept. 1, 2024. SB 240 creates a new Chapter 331 in the Health and Safety Code and has four main requirements of facilities, including hospitals. SB 240 also applies to home health, nursing homes, ambulatory surgical centers, and freestanding emergency centers. A facility’s state licensing agency is allowed to enforce this law by undertaking any disciplinary action for violations against any person in the same manner as if that person had violated an applicable licensing law
for the facility. This law took effect on Sept. 1, 2023.
